Patent CA-2289331-A1 (CA)
Title: Hand-held work tool with a generator
Inventor: LEUFEN HEINRICH
IPC: H02K21/48
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: The invention has the object to improve a handheld portable work tool with an internal combustion engine such that the carburetor heater and the grip heater can be supplied with respectively adjusted electrical energy. By separating the generator windings into individual, electrically separated groups of excitation coils, an adaptation to the respective heating device with an optimal operating point is possible. The electrical separation into individual excitation coils and their selective combination into sets of excitation coils, which in the circumferential direction of the pole wheel are arranged in a row adjacent to one another, has furthermore the effect that a voltage drop caused by field weakness as a result of a load current has only a minimal effect on the other set of excitation coils. The coupling by a common coil resistor of the generator coil is thus eliminated.

Patent CA-2294378-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SARHAN FATHEY
IPC: A01N37/44
Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: The accumulation of the osmolyte glycine-betaine is associated with increased freezing tolerance (FT) in wheat. An exogenous application of betaine at room temperature increased their FT by more than 5 ~C. The treated plants showed some of the characteristics of cold-acclimated plants and expressed the low temperature responsive gene Wcor410 encoding a major membrane associated protein. The combined exposure to low temperature and betaine resulted in a cumulative effect on the improvement of FT surpassing the genetic potential of the plant to withstand freezing. This important finding indicates that an exogenous application of betaine before a predicted frost may be exploited to substantially improve cold or freezing tolerance in sensitive plants. Also disclosed is a method of reducing the growth rate of a plant by at least 30 %, which comprises the step of treating the plant with an effective dosage regimen of betaine or derivative thereof which is not lethal, preferably nontoxic to the plant. When growing the spring wheat variety Glenlea, in the presence of 500 mM of glycine betaine for four days, the growth rate thereof was reduced by about 75 %. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of inhibiting the growth of a plant, which comprises the step of treating said plant with a high dose regimen or betaine or derivative thereof. At lethal doses, this method results in killing undesirable plants. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of improving the germination rate of plant seeds at a temperature which is higher than about 0 ~C but not lower than the coldest temperature that the plant seeds can withstand, which comprises the steps of administering to the seeds an effective dosage regimen of betaine or derivative thereof, and allowing the same to germinate at cold temperatures.
